The problem isn't unsolved. It just doesn't have analytical solutions. But the mere fact we can simulate trajectories means we can solve it.



From engineering point of view, maybe the problem is solved. From maths point of view it isn't. For example, one cannot say for sure, are these trajectories periodic or no. 100-digit precision says "yes", but there is no guarantee, that 101-digit precision wouldn't say "no", they are not periodic.
